For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
